This is my favorite campsite and had a wonderful stay as always.

Beautiful for a fall campout once the leaves are down and you can see the river. Only improvement I would ask for would be to make the well water drinkable.

Site 18 is an easy set up from the road, as it is right across the canal. Sadly, this ease also attracts squatters, whether they are set up at the campsite itself, or set up in floaties at the riverbank, necessitating them walking through your campsite. It's also very close to site 17, which is a smaller site and so if the people in 17 are exceeding the maximum number of people and tents, they will leak over into your peace and quiet. Overall, it was an okay night, made better by the fish I was able to catch the next morning after the waters had settled down from the squatters.

Great location, beautiful scenery, right on the canal and Potomac. Highly recommended!

Fantastic campsite. Nestled between the C&O and the Potomac, off a quiet country road, and within walking distance of Shepherdstown and biking distance of Harper’s Ferry. Simple campsites and a pleasant camping experience. Highly recommend.

I definitely love camping at Antietam Creek. I just wish others were cognizant of quiet time and overall of the fact there are people there who are trying to enjoy nature. Our most recent trip (March 27), the site next to us had a young child who clearly wasn't dealing with time away from the screen very well. Their solution was to play cartoons for the child... loudly... and through 11PM. It was very rude, against quiet time rules, and if everything else hadn't been awesome, their behavior could have ruined our whole weekend. As it was, the extremely loud child woke us up the following morning.
Still, it's a nice hike from Antietam Creek Campground down to Mountain Lock (Lock 37) or even up to Shepherdstown. Fishing is usually good in the area too, as long as there aren't too many people trying to swim in the area.
